Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast

For this week's episode we talk about the importance of weld coupons and practice coupons.  Some of the drills that you're told to do can seem very pointless and boring but we tried to explain why these drills can be very helpful in the long run.  We hope you pick up some material for your self to work on and improve your skills!  Enjoy  

For this episode we had a fun time talking about the Welding Tips and Tricks Forum.  For many of us this is where our welding community started in the WT&T Forum or others similar to it.  There is still a wealth of knowledge available on these sites if you have never looked into them.  We hope this topic gives you the push to take some time and join a forum and join in the conversations.  It's all about passing on the information we have along with learning new things from others!  Enjoy!  

Last week we got a DM talking about making the jump to running your own business and how we always talk about playing it safe.  Jonathan talks about the numbers and a few other things that you should really think about before taking that step out of the plane.  Again we are not business advisers or anything along those lines.  We're just fellow welders trying to help and give sound advice to the things we know from our experiences.  With that we hope you enjoy this weeks Stubby!
